You and a friend are vacationing in Spain and have made reservations for a scuba outing on a yacht with Yates Buenamar. You will be

own food.

Strategy – Scanning
You decide to go to the Yate Buenamar Web site to see if you can get the information.
Look at the Web site, noting the format and headings. Locate the sections that tell about the meals. Look for cognates.
Although you won't understand all of the contents in the Web site, you can probably get the information you need. You remember that in
Spain jugo is called zumo, sandwiches are bocadillos, and papas are patatas. You also remember that albóndigas are meatballs, atún is tuna,
chorizo is a kind of sausage, mortadela is a kind of bologna, and that paella is a traditional Spanish dish made of rice, chicken, fish, shrimp,
clams, and vegetables.

Aplicación
An American charter boat company wants a menu in Spanish for its customers from Spain. Using foods you know, make up a menu similar
to the Yate Buenamar menu. Be sure to include breakfast, lunch, and dinner, the cost, and the time for each using the 24-hour clock. You can
even give an option for comida caliente and comida fría.
